Absolutely lovely site. Handy for visiting Devon, Dorset and Somerset. Forest glade full of squirrels and birds. Dogs are welcomed and all the dogs we saw were always on a lead. Yes there is only one shower but for the bank holiday week the owners had hired a mobile shower unit!! Informal campsite and you are able to pitch where you want. I will definitely return.

Beautiful little site. Set in quiet woods. Wake up to the sound of wild woodland life. This was my first time camping for many, many years, and it made me fall in love with camping. So much that we have spent the whole year visiting different campsites instead of going abroad. My 4 year old son and wife loved it as well as my sons grandma. Super family owned and run site!

A lovely site, great location for exploring Dorset & the west country with a few pitfalls
There are combination locks on the door to the shower / toilet block about 5'6" from the ground, means that many children are unable to go to the toilet on their own, can be a pain!
Only one shower for 40 pitches, well we had to queue, sometimes 4 - 5 people deep. (was bank hol weekend though).
Only 1 wash up sink with dubious hot water, one minute scalding hot then freeezing cold and finally, the owner is not strict enough about dogs being kept on leads, on 3 occasions we had dog mess outside our tent door and we don't even own a dog. Not very nice when you have young children.

Not a bad campsite although found the fact that you can't check in till 12 when reception shuts at 11:15 a little odd.
Probably wouldn't go back as had to queue for shower even though campsite was empty (torrential rain in mid August).

Very friendly owners, although it was a busy bank holiday weekend they were very charming.
It is a pretty site although very wooded if you are concerned about stuff dropping onto your tent / awning from the trees you had better be prepared because it is inevitable.
Indifferent weather so we did not use the pool, but it looked lovely.
We had a lovely, if shaded, pitch right next to the toilets, only one shower and we were lucky and managed to never have to wait, but some others were not happy with this.
The children had a great time there is a trampoline there and this was a big hit. Also the wooded grounds made this a great playground for them.

Great campsite, very welcoming and friendly, clean & tidy. Excellent recycling facilities although some of the campers there when we stayed could have done with a lesson in distinguishing glass & plastic from general refuse (not the fault of the camp-site, just very lazy campers). Even though there was only one shower in each toilet block we never had to queue. I found that if we had a shower in the evening or late afternoon it was quiet, the hot water was a constant temperature (not too hot & not too cold) plenty of it and it was free.
The heated swimming pool was lovely. My son loved the big trampoline and riding his bike in the woods. We even came across two WWII pill boxes hidden away in the woods.
A great base for a camping holiday, not far from Lyme Regis, good value for money, we will definitely recomend it to friends and go back again.

Excellent site! set in unspoilt wooded area, no set area for majority of pitches, swings, trampoline, heated outdoor pool for the kids. Owner very friendly. With regard to other comments about only one shower. In the week we were there we never had to wait and there were at least 10 other families on the site. Well located to travel to attractions. Sensibly priced. We will certainly visit again. Shame they are not all this good.

Campsite very good,very clean, children enjoyed heated pool. owner friendly. Excellent if you have dogs. Only one drawback there was only one shower!!! I still had to queue even although I tried different times and the site was not busy, so I imagine you have to "fight" for a shower in peak times. The grounds were lovely, very well kept. Would go back again for sure .10/10

This is a lovely campsite set in a wooded area. The facilities are good and clean - initially worried about only one shower in the ladies and gents but only had to wait once during the bank holiday weekend (understand that they are waiting for permission to build more) - water always hot and free!
The children have swings to play on and a heated swimming pool. Good walking areas for dogs. Good central location for Lyme Regis, etc. Would definitely go back and can not recommend this site enough!
